Abstract(s)
A presente investigação foca-se no bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes e nos fatores que podem exercer influência neste, como os comportamentos de saúde adotados por esta população, incluindo a qualidade de sono. Deste modo, o principal objetivo deste estudo consiste na análise da relação existente entre os comportamentos de saúde e os níveis de Bem-Estar Psicológico dos adolescentes.
O protocolo de recolha de dados foi composto por três instrumentos de autorresposta: Questionário Sociodemográfico, Escala de Promoção de Saúde em Adolescentes (EPSA), Escala de Avaliação da Qualidade do Sono na Adolescência (AQSA) e Escala de Medida de Manifestação de Bem-Estar Psicológico (EMMBEP). A amostra é composta por 118 participantes (65 do género masculino e 53 do género feminino), a frequentar o 3º ciclo de estudos e o secundário, e foi recolhida presencialmente com os alunos de uma escola de Pinhel e em Mangualde. A média de idades dos participantes é de 15 anos, com cerca 63% a frequentar o 9º ano de escolaridade.
De acordo com os dados obtidos verificou-se que os níveis de Bem-Estar Psicológico são mais elevados no género masculino. Além disso, observam-se influências significativas ao nível da relação existente entre os comportamentos de saúde e o Bem-Estar Psicológico, nomeadamente no que concerne ao exercício físico e suporte social, indo ao encontro da literatura. Contrariamente à revisão da literatura, que sugere que a qualidade de sono influencia os níveis de Bem-Estar Psicológico dos adolescentes, os resultados obtidos não o demostram.
